New Delhi, Jan. 22 -- US President Donald Trump wanted Greenland - the easy way or the hard way - but his tone has recently softened since his European allies took on a more defiant tone. Days after he threatened eight European countries with tariffs to support his bid for Greenland, he said he would refrain from imposing tariffs on goods from those nations.

"We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region," President Trump posted on social media.

"This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on 1 February."
